A unique opportunity for 2SQTIBPOC therapists to receive support and build community in a small group.

September 2026

Limited Spots Available

If you’re looking for a safe space to gather, learn, and build solidarity with other Two-Spirit, queer and trans clinicians of colour, this consultation group is for you!

Join me (Shadi K) for small-group consultation every four weeks, where we can bring cases and talk about how the work impacts us. The world can be a hostile place to racialized people and 2SLGBTQIA+ folks. Holding one of these identities right now is tough enough. But living at their intersection means facing not only the challenges of either, but a bunch of other stuff that’s unique to queer and trans people of colour. Where do we fit? Who is our community? And it can weigh especially heavy when we’re trying to keep it together while helping clients with similar identities and struggles.

We need a space where other people get it – folks who will bear witness and offer compassion and support. And practical survival tips, too! We can discuss clinical cases with people who share our lived experience and values. And we can talk about bigger picture things, like the state of the world, or our own well-being. Consultation is, and should be, about so much more than cases. It can be about community. We are stronger together.

Dates and Times for Each Session:

September 24th, 3pm - 5pm PT (6pm - 8pm ET)

October 22nd, 3pm - 5pm PT (6pm - 8pm ET)

Requirements and Logistics

All sessions take place via Zoom, and you are asked to keep you camera on for the duration of each call (exceptions for short breaks or accessibility needs). We start on time, so please arrive a few minutes early to ensure we can all begin together.

This group will be a good fit for you if you’ve had a bit of time “on the ground” as it were. For that reason, I ask that you have at least 6 months of experience providing therapy or counselling post-graduation.

This is a 5-month, once monthly commitment. We understand there are sometimes unavoidable causes of absences, and we really value your time with us when you can make it. Please take this into consideration as you plan to include this opportunity in your calendar over the next few months!


*There are no refunds or makeup sessions provided for missed sessions.

Pricing

A core component of this offering is the commitment to your own growth and to being in community with one another. This is reflected in the pricing policies. In signing up for this group, you are committing to the full 5 months.

This program fee is offered on a scale, and I invite you to select an amount within that which feels aligned and accessible for you. It can sometimes be tough to figure out where to land, so I encourage you to consider how much you charge for your full-fee clients, how much of your caseload is sliding scale, your personal financial situation (housing, costs of living etc.), and your own intersections of privilege and marginalization. The rate you choose should not put you in financial hardship and should simultaneously honour the experience you will receive through the program. The rate you select will not impact your acceptance into the program, as you will determine this rate after you have been accepted.

Fee Scale: $500 - $800 CAD

(This fee scale is for the entire program, and works out to a range of $50 - $80 per hour. Clinical Supervision is tax exempt.)

Upon acceptance to the program, you will select one of two payment options:


Option 1: Payment in Full

Due upon acceptance


Option 2: Monthly Payments

$160 deposit due upon acceptance followed by equal payments of the balance due on the 1st of each month for 8 months starting September 1st 2026



Payments can be made via e-transfer or credit card. If you sign up for option 2, you will be required to keep a valid credit card on file even if you choose to pay via e-transfer. Receipts will always be provided.

Refund Policy: Until July 30th 2026, a full refund minus the $160 deposit. After August 1st 2026, no refunds. Registration is transferrable subject to a $75 administrative fee.

How to Register

This supervision and training program is intentionally designed to provide space for you to learn, grow, feel challenged, supported, and co-create a community of likeminded therapists. In order to do this, it’s vital that the cohort not be too big which is why I’m limiting each cohort to 8 people. I’m inviting interested individuals to submit an expression of interest using the form below. You’ll hear back from me shortly after your submit the form. Once you’re accepted, you’ll select a payment option that works best for you and away we go!

(they/them)

My supervision style is kind and supportive but committed to your growth.  This means I will gently challenge you when necessary and ensure you are working near your learning edges.  I take a developmental approach to supervision, meaning that I consider where you’re at in your program or career, and how your supervision needs may differ accordingly. 

Just as with my counselling clients, I believe my supervisees bring a wealth of knowledge and wisdom with them, and that we have much to learn from each other.  I’d much rather be a Guide on the Side than the Sage on the Stage.
